Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter in the history of Basketball, showcased his skills on the biggest stage of them all as he led Team USA Men’s Basketball to Olympic Gold at the Paris Olympics. The opening ceremony saw Curry representing the United States, and fittingly, he helped close out the Games with a stellar performance.
Dubbed as ‘Chef’ Curry, the Golden State Warriors legend cooked up a storm against France in the Gold Medal game, finishing with an impressive 28 points and sinking eight three-pointers. His performance included some jaw-dropping shots down the stretch, where he hit four insanely clutch threes in a two-minute span during the 4th quarter, putting on a show for fans around the world.
In a thrilling final, Team USA edged out France 98-87, with Curry’s heroics proving to be the difference-maker. Despite a valiant effort from the French team, including an outstanding performance from Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, Team USA managed to secure the victory.
The depth of talent on the Team USA roster was highlighted throughout the Olympics, with the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Curry himself forming a formidable trio. The team’s dominance in the tournament was a testament to their skill and togetherness, as they navigated tough challenges to claim their fourth consecutive Olympic Gold.
France, to their credit, put up a strong fight, matching Team USA in several statistical categories. However, the sharpshooting of Curry and his teammates from beyond the arc proved to be the deciding factor, with the US hitting an impressive 50% of their three-point attempts compared to France’s 30%. Curry’s performance on the world stage once again solidified his status as one of the greatest players in Basketball history.
